Do you know what these folders are and what their purpose is? The reason you are unable to delete them may well be because 1. They contain files which are write protected. You can alter attributes but files are normally protected for a reason. 2. They contain files which are being used by your system already. 3. You have some disc corruption which means that Windows cannot locate proper disk information for the folder in its FAT . This mean windows will not be able to delete it. 4. Probably least likely there is some kind of memory resident virus/Trojan using these folders. I think this is unlikely as it appears that there is no attempt to conceal these folders.
I would never delete folders simply because I do not know what they are. This should be investigated. I would definitely check them out with a good anti virus program . If the problem turns out to be disk corruption you need to use a utility such as check disk to resolve this. Before doing this back up as much as you can from this drive though. . If it turns out you are experiencing disk failure I personally think it is a good signal to invest in a replacement drive whilst you can. I would do this even if the drive is repaired.
